didn't john say it switched from iptables to netfilter?  my last
kernel, 2.6.11, had iptables.

so if it switched, then maybe it forgot about my nice iptables choices
and asked me
netfilter questions instead of defaulting to my iptables choices.

are you saying that's not the reason it refused to default?

some initrd nonsense that wouldn't boot no matter what i did.
besides, i'd want fuse and xfs.

configuring my own used to work because it wouldn't get rid of my
iptables settings.
